'The Razor' Attempts to Talk Sammy Farha into Going All In Dark

John Phan

In an apparent encore performance of his win in Event #29 at the 2008 World Series of Poker this past summer against Johnny Neckar (see Playing Blind Continues), John Phan just tried to get opponent Sammy Farha to go all in blind with him.

"Hey, we're going all in dark over here," Phan told Tournament Emcee Jordan Siegel.

Siegel approached the table and for a second, it looked as though Farha was on board, having slid his entire stack toward the middle of the table. Sammy eventually opted against the ultimate gamble and pulled his chips back in.

"They were bluffing," said Siegel.

"I wasn't!" insisted Phan. "It's gambling in my blood!"
